helli-los~
1 wk certainly has been a long time since i went missing. i m sure u know the reasons y.but fret not cuz in 3 wks time i gonna be outta that once-i-called-a-dreadful-place.
indeed that once dreadful place has slowly morphed into a place where memories will be kept in my heart. Kept fondly in my? ..........HEART.
Encik Jon always love to say that. its a test which he always ask us to repeat so show that we aint skiving or takin that sweet afternoon nap after lunch.
My platoon commander, Encik Razali is another funny chap. he's a natural comedien. never fail to make us crack and literally fart our asses out with his all time fave sarcastic remarks.
Perhaps one day when i m freer, i shld write an entry specially dedicated to all the warrant officers of my company.
It has been a great week this wk. As soon as live range was over,which was initially a horrifyin one becuz of the live bullets and stuff, i was welcomed by another bigger one. Grenade throwin.Fear was all inside me from the time i step foot onto the grenade course till the sec i throw the damn bomb onto the land. on impact, the deafening sound of the explosion ,rippled thru the air and into my ears and body. the ground shook like fuck. and my organs were like shaken. Fucking gd experience.Oc evening was up next on thursday. funny skit my platoon came up with. we compiled all the butt jokes and pet phrases of all our commanders into a song. Malay style sung by Zhafran, which he did a superb job. a particualar line of the song reads " ears shut, where's my temp file"?! made Sergeant khalid face red as monkey's ass. uber hilarious.There's another skit from platoon which they acted in the Visa ad. dunno how to put into words to tell ya. i figured video is the best. however its becuz of some fuckers in army that caused all of us to ban camera phones n stuff.Navy Selection Interview is up tmr. have ambivalent feelings about it. a sense of excitment is running in me at the same time, the expectations of not to fail it is there.which made me very uneasy about it. To me failure is NEVER an option.shall go pack my stuffs real soon for book in later. morale gettin higher as the days countdown. but a certain part in me feels miserable. Gd frens, everyone gonna go on separate ways soon. i m startin to feel awzzy. yest was a day full of activities ,yet again. how many times must i re-emphasise that wkend timing is precious haha. hang out with cliques yest. went suntec with ong,daniel yh and ray to look for my cap. feels so naked whenever my bald head is exposed. pop by a visit to see fiona, felt so happy when she complimeneted that i m no longer a boy but a man haha. headed to parklane for some subway and chilled there listenin to some gig. ambience was BEAU....tiful. slacked further at Sis new workplace at Billy Bombers @ Cathay Cineplex. nice place ncie atmosphere. everything's nice. perhaps everything is nice in mainland becuz tekong is so obselete. hahalastly headed to serangoon gardens to catch a game of soccer with my bunk mates, nicholas, chew and wayne. i just love my bunk mates man. they r a sincere bunch of peeps with no hidden agenda. alrity i shld be goin, gonna pack my stuff, await for my entry man! i wanna see my counter go higher hahaha :P

Wkend time could not have been more precious than ever. Well that is based on what i perceived. Bookout have been limited to only sats now and it oh seem so tight.
i swear my pet phrase now is "Time is precious". roughly mouthed it like 24 times yest ever since i stepped back to mainland.
Hitched a ride back with Stephen yest.realised he is a friend of my scout junior in my sec sch days. cant believe for the fact that he's still younger than i am and he's alr a sergeant. whats more unbelievable is that the 2 of them are a world of a difference LITERALLY. stephen is a tall freak, like Peter Crouch, tall lanky and his friend Jeremy, is a short ass.
Yet! the vertically challenged guy is attached while he, still in his world of DOTA and gaming. cant understand what a 19yr old mindset is. Perhaps he's from a well-to-do family, yar he lives at the Serangoon Garden region, the holland village of this area. despite the rain yest, he refused to ask the cabby to drop outside his place, i assume he didnt wan us to see how big his sanctuary was HA.
Started a flurry of activities as soon as i got back home, ever since den, didnt have much time to rest myself for, i m bent on goin out to rock. checked my mails,news on the net,chatted a little,synced my poddy before headin out to town to meet up cliques. Got a Gucci key cum coin pouch from mum. thanks for it mum its gorgeous.
Cliques turnout was quite poor in a sense that YY,Royce didnt turn up, Yh had work yest and Ray was on guard duty. however there was an apparent newcomer. Big headed chee seng. ha. it started out as a cheeky appointment to meet up and surprise alex to see what's his reaction. turn out that he was in his usual act-cool look.Hang ard orchard with Ong,RS,Alex and Chee Seng yest. scouted for caps which prove a little futile thou i saw a fancy one at AX. price was a little steep but didnt mind. tempted to get it but CS and alex said it look kinda shitty which doesnt justify the price.ok i m gettin draggy. had swesen with cliques for dinner, thereafter met up with ron to chill out. stayed at starbucks for a couple of hrs over at liat towers before headin to indochine to have some shelly temples. caught the match between chelsea n watford, - someone pls break the stranglehold of chelsea title. manure pls do sth, thou i m a die hard Scouser.Navy Selection up next wk.was selected to go.hopefully things turn out well. future seems bleak now. m at a 4 way junction in life now. undecided. choosin the wrong path wld mean a career failure n stuff. God pls guide me.might pen another entry later since this is gettin nowhere. just another typical story of my day.random thot - Blogger beta is gd. dun hesitate to use.

Baby i m bacckk!
yeah its been a long wk. long but worthwhile. finally there wont be anymore field camps in tekong.and thinking back the past 9wks which i ve been thru in there,its gonna come to an end pretty soon.
Cherish is what i shld be doin now, appreciating the remaining times left in tekong with great frens i ve known. Whole platoon has been a joy for me, the talk,the laughter,even the tekan session when things went wrong, we all went thru together.
SIT test, out field for another 3 days prove to be a real turning point for me. it really tested my mental endurance. Having to handle a niggling blister on my heel and the load of the bag, walkin 12click, aint no feat.
Speaking about SIT, it went pretty smoothly, in fact its a better one compared to the earlier field camp, 3 days, more tests, everything ya gotta do is on your own, and the teamwork of the detail. I personally would say i ve reached my expectation of the test.years in scouting prove valuable. because i was known as the Knot Master haha! everything that has to deal with tying structures and safety harness, hanwei's the man to look for haha.
Lucky for me too, i ve been assigned to 2 posts, 2nd in command and navigator. adding the knot tying job as well, i would say i m quite an indispensable fella in the whole detail haha. pardon me about it lol.
bookin in later.feelings of boredom becuz of that has slowly disappeared, cuz its only another 4 bookouts, there wouldnt be anymore.
Xmas is coming! cant wait to go out and get pressies for everyone.and expecting one in return too haha. xmas gift exchange is fun. hanging out with all the pple i owed an outing too man.cant wait to see my beloved cliques,bintan homies,wingman, gerald,sec sch pals n all.
Sat was a day i suppose to slack at home and haul ass as usual.initial plans of goin out with cliques were dashed when ong msg me in a space of 20mins that the whole outin is cancelled. ladies. haha
But later jon called and asked to meet up, headed down to HMV for some shoppin for dvds,wanted to chill at starbucks but tough luck, poor tastebuds of mine didnt get a chance to slurp that. Caught the covenant.average show,good plot but CGI spoilt the damn show.hitched a ride from jon's dad home after. had supper with sis and kido before resting my ass at 3 in the morn.
nothing much to say as my mind is pretty blanked out now.packing my bag now for later.doin some last min bloggin to keep the cobwebs away from this site and catchin some movies on my desktop before headin out.
gotta take off. be back on sat.9 wks gone, 4 bookouts to go. OCS NAVY, here i come.
